Has The Arms Deal With Iran Shaken Your Faith In The President?

November 30, 1986

President Reagan continues to face criticism about his arms deal with Iran. Last week national security adviser John Poindexter resigned in the wake of the controversy, and officials said that money the Iranians paid for the arms was sent to Nicaraguan rebels without Reagan's knowledge. Critics say the deal shows an administration not in control. Supporters say the deal was the only way to free the hostages and to support moderate factions in Iran.

What do you think? Has the arms deal shaken your faith in Reagan? (Last week Sound Off asked if people had more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving than last. Of 527 calls, 435 -- 75 percent -- said yes; 92 said no.)
